Rockin’ Thunder, Canada’s newest and biggest festival dedicated to rock ‘n’ roll, will be returning to Exhibition Lands Racetrack on July 11-12, 2026.
After a sold-out debut in 2025, the festival is wasting no time in raising the bar with its headliners for 2026.
Headlining the second annual two-day festival will be multi-platinum rock giants Creed and chart-topping heavy hitters Three Days Grace.
With its sold-out inaugural year already hailed as one of the most standout rock events of the summer, Rockin’ Thunder is set to deliver an even more impressive experience in 2026.
Saturday, July 11 will feature The Glorious Sons, Bif Naked and local band Calling All Captains among others.
Darrell Stranger spoke with Gerry Krochak, who is part of the Rockin’ Thunder team, about the festival and what fans can expect in year two of the festival.
Tickets can be purchased here.
